On December 15, 2376, Admiral Hayes sent two deep space vessels to meet Voyager and make her return easier and faster. One of those ships, the USS Cherokee, came back on May 14, 2389.

When they reach home, they find something has emerged from within their own organization, corrupting Starfleet and everything it stands for, leaving the Federation in a state of crisis.

Commodore Welles leads what many consider as an insurrection to bring Starfleet back to its original ways.

As the protagonists are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices will be made for the only family Welles has left: his crew.

(In case you wonder, this story trashes nuTrek in favor of a continuation of the Original Canon. All we know after Nemesis is that Romulus has poofed and Spock is MIA. But many other things have happened, and since Paramount won't tell us what, I will.)
